Kavala's Keep

Kavala's Keep is a lonely fortress found on the northern border of the Vostarian Empire.

Location
The fort is about a days ride north of Patras, east of Castle Craven, and south of the Kingdom of Valencia.

Structure
The fort is a stone-walled enclosure set atop a small hill and surrounded by deep trenches, about ten to fifteen feet deep. The walls are also between ten and fifteen feet thick and stand twenty feet high.

History
In 1096 AS, the Vostarian Empire led an expansive invasion into the northern realms seeking to gain more land and resources. However, this backfired and the nations of Batu and Lyria made an alliance to push back the invaders. The Empire built forts along their borders in a haste to push back the counter attack, and the first fort constructed was built under Legate Serina Kavala, a legendary commander that held back the two forces barely in time for reinforcements to arrive.
